RFE: is it possible to start making github releases?πŸ€”

Open kloczek opened this issue 1 year ago β€’ 3 comments

On create github release entry is created email notification to those whom have set in your repo the web UI Watch->Releases. gh release can contain additional comments (li changelog) or additional assets like release tar balls (by default it contains only assets from git tag) however all those part are not obligatory. In simplest variant gh release can be empty because subiekt of the sent email contains git tag name.

I'm asking because my automation process uses those email notifications by trying to make preliminary automated upgrades of building packages, which allows saving some time on maintaining packaging procedures. Probably other people may be interested to be instantly informed about release new version as well.

Documentation and examples of generate gh releases: https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/releasing-projects-on-github/managing-releases-in-a-repository https://cli.github.com/manual/gh_release_upload/ https://github.com/jbms/sphinx-immaterial/pull/282 https://github.com/marketplace/actions/github-release https://pgjones.dev/blog/trusted-plublishing-2023/ https://github.com/jbms/sphinx-immaterial/issues/281#issuecomment-1700933026 tox target to publish on pypi and make gh release https://github.com/jaraco/skeleton/blob/928e9a86d61d3a660948bcba7689f90216cc8243/tox.ini#L42-L58

Hi @kloczek I have added a tag-only GitHub release for 5.0.4 just now at https://github.com/hsluv/hsluv-python/releases/tag/v5.0.4 . Regarding automation ofr creation of GitHub releases, I don't see much value in that personally, so I won't be the one to build that or compaign for it. Regarding release notification, I use rss2email and the RSS feed of Repology to be notified of new releases of software I maintain even without GitHub releases. The repology page of hsluv-python is https://repology.org/project/python:hsluv/versions . I'm unsure why Fedora is not listed there, could be a naming-difference thing. Repology works great, it helps me be a better Gentoo maintainer.

@boronine shall we close this as fixed?
